| 摘要： | With some services at risk of never returning post-lockdown, more bus stops and shelters may go the way of abandoned railway branch line buildings. Or as euphemistic modern management-speak might have it, they will be 'reimagined' or 'repurposed'. Some already have. Hugh Dougherty found one in the Stirlingshire village of Kinlochard, somewhere he recalls his parents taking him and his sister on day trips into the country from home in Glasgow aboard an Alexander's halfcab Leyland Tiger PS1. The bus would turn at the village post office, where the clippie, complete with cash bag, ticket machine and whistle chain, delivered a parcel. The last bus departed Kinlochard over five years ago, leaving the village bus shelter abandoned to the ravages of undergrowth, although community-spirited locals now use it as an information point, with a board outside listing helplines, which sadly exclude any for public transport. |
